KOca Cola + MaCDonalds

Here you are - KO, MCD, Dow Jones, S&P500 and Nasdaq.

Coca Cola and McDonald's actually performing very well.
They are still 20% up for last 12 mo.
Note Dow is flat and S&P and Nasdaq are minus 10%.

This is because:

1. US Inflation. You may not go to cinema, but you still need to eat something, and what better to eat than one big juicy cholesterol BigMac :-) + one big diet coke. Kids love it.

2. KO and MCD are international companies and their profit comes in mixed currencies, not only USD. They receive EUR, JPY, GBP, BGN - a truly diversificated currency portfolio.

I still recommending those stocks :-)
